NEED An EXTRA
CREATIVE brain
AB OU T ME
JAMES CARSOn I like to adopt a hands-on approach to my work, and I am guided by my belief that extraordinary creativity appears when traditional boundaries between art and design are blurred. I enjoy an environment where I am challenged to discover different ways of expressing concepts within a client’s brief for works of design or art. The following examples of work are from the areas that I have recent experience in. Please find more details and examples of the following work on my website. www.byjamescarson.com Contact me: jimmy.carsons.email@gmail.com

A team of ten Australians successfully walked from Lukla to Gorak Shep (5180m) and made it to Kala Patthar and Everest Base Camp, which was the last stop on their journey. The participants said it was a “fantastic but challenging trek” and an “awesome adventure”. The Move Mountains fundraising event took place from March 31st – April 13th 2010 in Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) National Park. The journey took place to fundraise for Women’s leadership and good governance training in conjunction with the Leadership and Good Governance (LeGGo) Project, which is funded by ADRA Australia. The

One of the skateboards I designed for Arniko Skateboards. Arniko Skateboards are a small independent skate company from Switzerland. The skateboards are all hand made and hand carved in Nepal, using traditional carving techniques that have been used for centuries by Nepali carvers. Due to the carving process, the design is restricted in its complexity.
